A research team at the University of Miami is studying pollen levels in Miami-Dade County by swabbing the rear windshields of cars parked on campus. Led by pollen expert Naresh Kumar, the goal is to analyze pollen types and concentrations during peak season. Findings show significant variations in pollen presence across the county, primarily from live oak, pine, and palm trees, providing insights for allergy sufferers and revealing where pollen is most concentrated.
We are seeing dramatic variations in the concentration of the pollen in different parts of Miami-Dade County, as well as different species of pollen.
The goal was to take a snapshot in the peak of pollen season in Miami-Dade County, said University of Miami Miller School of Medicine pollen expert Naresh Kumar.
